INTELLIGENT CONCRETE SYSTEM

Advantages for a constructor

In the first place, the work is completely telematically controlled, its development being seen from the office of the constructor, with all the processes that have been followed and their parameters being recorded.

The chain work marks a working cycle that generates a big production with high productivity. The purchase of large amounts of basic raw materials without intermediaries (steel, aggregates, cement and isolation) secures a good adjustment of prices. The provision of materials is realised “Just in Time” with the telematic control of stocks.

The constructor collaborates on a large scale with the sustainability and the reduction of CO2 contamination. This will be very well seen by administrations, to destine subsidies or work awards.

The innovative image will make single out the constructor among his competitors, as well as the relation quality/price, which will allow him to work with added values in houses of accessible cost to the consumer, assuring the sales and in this way, stability in the market.

Their double peripheral walls can be made easily with breakage of the thermal bridge, securing a highly sustainable construction. Unlike traditional construction, it uses a smaller layer of isolation and the thermal efficiency is greater. This supposes a great saving in heating or refrigeration of the building. All the buildings constructed with I.C.S system count on heating by means of radiating tubes in ceilings and walls, the air conditioning in summer (optional) being possible by means of this same system. This way, neither noise nor airflows exist. The whole building will always be at a programmed temperature.

Sound insulation is very high between houses or with the outside and all the internal pipes of water-drainage are of triple layers.

The accomplishment in situ of the elements and the total control of all parameters offer a high quality assurance and security.

The incorporation of ventilated facade does not suppose an increase in the cost of manpower in its positioning.

Internally, the armour of the whole construction is converted into a unique piece, providing antiearthquake security to the building.

We can anticipate that the cost of construction m ² /ceiling with the inner qualities of the standard house and without applying repercussion by the purchase of the land could be around 460€/m ² /ceiling (Spain) (this number will be subject to the preparation of the corresponding architectural project for a house module in particular).

Also the reduction and the saving in financial expenses of the works is very important, due to the smaller duration of this, since in a building of 300 houses with the I.C.S system it only takes between 100 - 300 labor days in construction, i.e. a third of the time of a conventional construction.

Therefore we can anticipate that a house of about 80 ms ² constructed with the I.C.S system oscillates around 33.000/40.000€ (Spain), (this amount will be subject to the preparation of the architectural report of a house module in particular), without adding the cost of the land, which will vary based on the zone and typology of inner qualities that are desired of the house, the excavation and the architectural report.
